Members Noggin Posted October 2, 2018 Members Report Posted October 2, 2018 Found an old wooden stool i used to sit on when i was a wee boy. Leather top shows 3 sailing ships from Admiral Nelson’s time in the leather top. A name is signed in the leather either Lavanga or Ravanga and wondered if anyone knew anything about the origins Quote

Mark842 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 I'd take that to an antique dealer that specializes in furniture...does the antique roadshow ever come out there? You might be the next millionaire... Quote
mikesc Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Antiques Roadshow was originally British..Arthur Negus.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Negus The ships are too old to be from the time of Nelson..and have the red cross on the sails..the image is the same as the most common images of the Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria..of the 1st voyage of Christopher Columbus.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus Images of the Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria..https://lite.qwant.com/?q=Nina%20pinta%20santa%20maria&t=images Edited October 4, 2018 by mikesc Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Members Noggin Posted October 12, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 12, 2018 The English flag (St George) is a Red Cross on a White background and they appear to be involved in a battle and as we know the English were always fighting someone!!LOL However I will take on board your knowledge of the Nina,Pinta and Santa Maria Mike!! As for the Antiques Roadshow,yes Mark it sometimes comes to Scotland but mostly like everything else in Britain it is mainly in England...appreciate your comment but not holding my breath at being the world’s next millionaire. That said I am in Las Vegas this November so if the stool doesn’t make me a millionaire maybe everything I own on Zero may just do it Regards to ALL of you for taking the time to answer .....from Scotland Quote
mikesc Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 Is n't "zero" the one where the house wins ?..I should know, having lived in Cannes and other parts of the Côte d'Azur where they have casinos, and even here in Brittany I'm only 4 kms from another, but have never set foot in one anywhere..Idea just does not appeal at all..
